A D
Drinking the cheapest shot of whiskey

That I could get at this airport bar
F#m
And flipping through the magazines
E S
Waiting for my flight to board.

Sit at the back of this puddle jumper
A
Look out the window and take a picture
F#m
I can’t sleep so I’ll just sit
E
And think about how goddamn much I
D E E
miss her But I know it’s for the better.
A E D
I guess I’m moving on
F#m
But I can’t say that I know how.
E
Just put one foot out
D
And pray there’s something
A
there when I step down.
E D
I guess this is letting go
D
So long and good luck
F#m E D
But if it’s really for the best
D
then why does it hurt so damn much?

All my friends and family

Shake their heads in sympathy

The same way that I do

Not knowing what’s to come of me.

Speak with any empathy

about this situation
F#m E
but the one who’s leaving me

The one I had to leave
